Something for all the family at Knebworth

Organisers say there is something for everyone, including a sheep show, dog and duck herding, children’s small animal petting pens, birds of prey and falconry display teams, ferret racing, a children’s entertainer and circus workshop.

Other attractions include the SoSkAn American Civil War re-enactment group, the Totally Terriers display team, Swords of Chivalry battle re-enactments and medieval village and Fighting Knights.

A spokesman for organisers Oakleigh Fairs said: “It’s a fantastic setting and we really enjoy working with the team there.

“Our events are designed with the whole family in mind. We want to deliver a really good weekend that everyone can enjoy - young and old - and we are bringing some fantastic new entertainment to the show this year.”

As well as full-size and scale steam engines and vintage cars, stick furniture making and pole lathing, there will also be other rural demonstration skills to enjoy.

Special interest groups are invited to take part and organisers welcome enquiries from trade stands
